"Forever Country" is a medley performed by the Artists of Then, Now & Forever, a one-time gathering of 30 country music artists. The song, which was recorded to honor the 50th Annual Country Music Association Awards, is a medley of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads," Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again," and Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." The medley was originally conceived to be just one song until director Joseph Kahn proposed the idea of mashing together three songs into one. It was recorded in a span of three days in Nashville, Tennessee in June 2016 with Shane McAnally as producer. A music video directed by Kahn was released to accompany and promote the song.
